Established as VBF-3 in 1945, the squadron was redesignated VF-4A in 1946, then VF-32 in August 1948. The “Swordsmen” participated in the Lebanon strikes, the Grenada invasion, the Libyan MiG-23 ‘Flogger’ shootdown in 1985, and also in Desert Storm onboard the USS JFK (CV-67) with CVW-17. This is one of the most famous of all Tomcat Patches, as it shows “Felix” leaning on a sword and wearing a beret. This patch does not come with velcro already attached.
